Excitability of canine colon circular muscle disconnected from the network of interstitial cells of Cajal

Abstract

The 6 cpm omnipresent slow waves recorded in the circular muscle (CM) layer of canine colon are generated at the submucosal surface of the CM layer. After removal of the submucosal network of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), 66% of the CM preparations (25 of 38) were quiescent in Krebs solution. In the presence of carbachol, seven of nine of these spontaneously quiescent CM preparations demonstrated slow wave-like activity with mean …
